Tamsen Fadal
During my stay at Canyon Ranch Lenox, I was able to find something that’s hard to achieve in my fast-paced life as a journalist, podcast host, and menopause advocate: space to truly slow down. It was a reminder that caring for myself isn’t indulgent — it's necessary. As a guest speaker at a recent M/Power retreat, I was so grateful for the opportunity to connect with other women actively investing in their next chapter. I was reminded, as I often discuss on The Tamsen Show Podcast and in How to Menopause, that women deserve space, trust, and care that treats us as whole people. Explore how M/Power provided exactly that through mine and others’ experiences here. Then find inspiration for your perfect wellness getaway with a peek into a day from mine below.
Morning
Meet with the Wellness Guide Team Begin the day by setting the tone for everything that follows. Instead of simply moving from appointment to appointment, feel supported in shaping an experience that actually makes sense for where you are right now. Gain Data-Driven Clarity with a DEXA Scan Dive deeper with a comprehensive DEXA Body Composition and Bone Density Evaluation. This powerful assessment provides clear, meaningful data — and clarity lives in data. Receive More Insights with a Continuous Glucose Monitor A CGM device helps us understand how the body responds to food, stress, and sleep, and can help improve energy, performance, and metabolic health. And, with expert nutritional guidance, all this personalized data feels empowering instead of overwhelming.
Afternoon
Nourish Without Restriction At Canyon Ranch, food is part of the overall wellness conversation. Each meal feels generous, intentional, and supportive, designed to fuel rather than restrict. This approach matters, especially for women navigating hormonal shifts, and it’s both empowering and deeply satisfying. Restore Balance with Acupuncture This calming, restorative experience supports balance across the body. This healing service offers insight into how stress, energy, and overall wellness are showing up physically — helping you tune in and respond with intention.
Evening
Release Tension with a Restorative Massage A massage allows the body to let go before the mind even catches up. Deeply restorative, the benefits of this treatment linger well beyond the session itself, leaving a sense of ease throughout the rest of your stay. Reset the Nervous System with Sound Healing Enjoy a sound healing experience that’s quiet, immersive, and surprisingly powerful. Even first-timers will feel the shift — a calming reset that brings balance to the nervous system and promotes lasting serenity.
